BigEd - in my PM, I neglected to mention w/the Seattle co. website, you need to go to Products on left side, then new arrivals - Sunbrella. Once there you can see on left side the color palette to click. I saw several blue/white stripe choices far down below the solid colors. Hope one of my sources works out for you.

I'm going to add the fabric that I am checking out for my wrap windows. It is a new product that is being used for awnings. It is not blue/white striped, but is striped and has blue colors. It is suppose to be less inclined to trap heat and hold up well to UV. I'll let you read about it. I am looking at it for window protectors and as a substitute for rock guards, but with the advantage of a sun shade that will let us see out, but others won't see in.

Outdoor Fabric - Sunbrella for cushions, awnings, furniture, curtains. Free Samples - AwnTex 120 - Royal/Navy/White Stripe

Good luck

Here is another brand that seems to have what you need. It is a vinyl awning material and as you read down, it shows to come in a blue/while stripe. I will have to come back here to get you the website as I lost it after copying the info below.



Patio 500 fabric has exceptional resistance to mildew and UV rays making this waterproof fabric the perfect choice for awnings, canopies and commercial installations in sunny, high humidity areas. Made with wick and craze resistant polyester weft-inserted warp knit scrim, Patio 500 has a matte, linen-like finish that combines long-lasting good looks with exceptional dimensional stability and superior strength. It accepts graphics including heat transfer films, heat-sealed and inset fabrics, silk screening, hand painting, appliqué and more. (Pressure sensitive adhesive vinyl graphics are not recommended.) Underside of the fabric is the same color unless otherwise noted*. Additional applications include pool and hot tub covers, umbrellas, gym floors, field covers, wrestling mats, equipment covers, banners, wall panels, welding curtains, divider curtains, air ducts and more. Backed by a five-year limited warranty, excluding Pattern 513 Clear.

Fabric: Vinyl Laminated Polyester
Finish: Flame retardant- California State Fire Marshal, F-121.02; UL-214, Classified; NFPA-701; ASTM-E-84, Class A; CPAI-84; MVSS-302
Width: 61 inches wide
Weight: 17.5 oz. per sq. yd.
Put up: Approximately 50 yard rolls

*Solids:
Beige Underside: English Brown
Eggshell Underside: Emerald, Cobalt, Terra Cotta, Burgundy, Black
White Underside: Emerald (Item number 858586.)

*Stripes:
White Underside: Yellow/White, Royal Blue/White, Dark Green/White, Black/White

He did not cash my check until the awnings came in, correct. He told me if they did not fit he would buy them back. It is unusually to find this type of person to work with and I recommend him. When the awnings came in with horizontal stripes instead of vertical, he sent them back and made carefree fix them. The only things that I changed to make them fit was to raise the adjustment bolt (quarter inch bolt that the curve arm rests against when you lower it for storage) up two holes to allow clearance for the alumaguard and the stove vent. I also got a new end cap from Vintage Trailer Supply. I have included a couple of pictures. I hope this helps. good luck, bill

Bill, Did you have Charlie order just fabric w/Alumaguard that worked on your arms or did you have to order a new roller/spring assembly? Is your fabric Vinyl or Acrylic? I think both my end caps are good on the arms but I will see what VTS has... Thanks, Ed
